The Heights District was established in 1893 by millionaire Oscar Martin Carter that developed the 1700 acre tract as a “getaway from the city bustle”. These days, this historic district offers a priceless central location, stunning architecture ranging from Victorian to Craftsman to modern, proximity to trendy shopping, elegant theater, gourmet eateries, interesting museums and more. The neighborhood is constantly changing with new developments substituting old, while still preserving that unique Heights feel. Real estate selection is wide: From cute bungalows, to trendy condos and townhomes, to massive homes and everything in between.
